What happens in this episode

Nobody expected Meisei to reach the quarterfinals – not even their manager. With Touma resting his arm out in left field, can the bullpen carry the team against the hard-hitting offense of Kaiou Nishi? PopRot reads this as part of the season's larger Meisei baseball build: the episode either advances the Tachibana brothers' place on the team, clarifies school/family pressure, or sets up the next baseball challenge.
